I'm deliberating between the Smart Privacy vs the Routeless blinds. Are there more problems with the Routeless as far as the slats coming out easily when opening/closing? I don't have to worry about children/pets around these. I like the idea of being able to take the blinds completely out for cleaning but if each time I open/close the blinds it will cause the slats to get out of line, then it doesn't make sense to go that route. Is there a recommendation from the consultants or customer feedback to give preference of one over the other?Read Answer »

Hits and misses of DIY projects, both big and small.
By Lindsey Bugbee
Tags: bags, fabric, crafts, recycling, projects
With spring upon us, I find myself anticipating something I've missed in the winter months: the outdoor farmers market. Who doesn't love a leisurely walk through the booths, where one can smell and sample freshly baked goods or feel the quality of crisp vegetables? With that in mind, I have a summer resolution: to show up to the market with chic, handmade style. I have promised myself to learn how to make reusable bags.
While you can always purchase reusable bags, it makes more sense to recycle them from items that are destined for the recycle bin anyway. Especially taking into consideration the recent study that claims plastic bags may be more earth-friendly than cloth or paper because it takes less energy to process plastic, we should recycle our already-used material to make cute and handy totes.
My research has led me to what may well be the most adorable bag on the 'net: a recycled grocery tote designed by Dana Willard. In Willard's blog, she outlines the steps necessary to make one. Mind you, it looks rather complicated ─ you have to melt plastic sacks together with an iron and subsequently sew together the resulting "fabric" ─ but the final product is totally worth it. Willard's reusable bags are functional, fashionable, waterproof and easy to clean with your favorite anti-bacterial agent.
Why relegate yourself to carrying bags when you could walk around with a sophistocated basket? If you're an avid newspaper reader (or, OK, even if you're not), it's hard not to be impressed with Jeffery Rudell's idea to make a basket out of old newspapers. He weaves strips of the New York Times together to make a durable basket. Rudell's finished product doesn't boast handles, but they would be easy to fashion from additional newspaper strips; just make sure you reinforce them with some strategic sewing. Double the life of the basket by spraying some finish on it and perhaps lining the interior with plastic or cloth.
I'll admit that both the recycled grocery tote and the newspaper basket will take some time, but this no-sew plan to make a T-shirt bag should be a snap! Have some duct tape, scissors, and staples handy ─ along with a worn-out or unwanted t-shirt. Within minutes, you'll find yourself with an enviable, market-ready tote.
Of course, going to the farmers market or your local co-op isn't about having the best sack, it's about getting the highest quality food. With that in mind, though, I want the caliber of the vessel that holds my groceries to be equal to that of the groceries themselves. With a little time and creativity, it's preferable and possible!

Nonlinear microscopy techniques for assessing the UV laser polymer interactions |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 4, pp. 3990-3996 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (707 KB)
A new diagnostic approach for assessing the in-depth laser induced modifications upon ultraviolet polymer irradiation is presented. The methodology relies on the observation of morphological alterations in the bulk material (Paraloid B72) by using third harmonic generation. This non destructive methodology allows the detailed and accurate imaging of the structurally laser modified zone extent in the vicinity of the irradiated area. Additionally, for the first time, the visualization and quantitative determination of the contour of the laser-induced swelling/bulk material interface is reported. The observed polymer surface swelling following single-pulse KrF laser irradiation at sub-ablation fluences is interpreted in the context of a model for laser-induced bubble formation due to droplet explosion mechanism.

No matter how modern it may become, Christmas will also always be synonymous with age-old traditions. We take a look at the high points of the Finnish Christmas season, from early December to the day after the big day.
After the first weekend of Advent, the unveiling of outdoor Christmas decorations, and a multitude of pre-Christmas parties, the next important holiday in Finland is Independence Day, which coincides with the feast day of Saint Nicholas, December 6.
The next milestone in the lead-up to Christmas is December 13, Santa Lucia's day. It's celebrated with a beautiful, singing procession led by a girl dressed in white wearing a crown of candles. This observance originally came to Finland from Sweden, where it became linked with Christmas because it happens to fall in mid-December.
Lucia was originally a Sicilian maid who defied her father by refusing to marry the man he had chosen for her. She suffered a martyr's death. The flames of the candles in the procession denote her martyrdom.
In the Nordic countries, the most important Christmas celebration takes place on Christmas Eve. Finnish traditions include the Christmas sauna and the preparation of Christmas dinner. The highlight of the evening comes when Santa knocks on the door and asks, "Are there any well-behaved children here?" Naturally, every home contains only good children and they all receive presents.
Since Christmas Eve forms the most important day of the Christmas season in Finland, it is fitting that at noon on the Eve, "Christmas Peace" is proclaimed in Turku, the oldest city in the country. The tradition dates back to the 13th century.
The bells of the 14th-century Turku Cathedral sound in many a Finnish home as people view the age-old ceremony on television. Then the festivities begin.
Christmas Day is a time for rest and relaxation, like reading books Santa Claus brought and eating food left over from Christmas Eve. People wait until Saint Stephen's Day (Boxing Day), December 26, to pay visits to friends and relatives. And if the weather permits, people visit outdoor events arranged by heritage societies.
According to legend, Saint Stephen was a stable boy of King Herod, and in Finland, as elsewhere, Stephen became the patron saint of horses and horsemen. On Saint Stephen's Day horses are included in the celebration of Christmas. In the past, horses pulled the sleighs when people visited friends and relatives, and sleigh rides can still be enjoyed at many a Saint Stephen's Day event.

COLUMBIA — When Michael Himmel, a retired Columbia Police Department detective, was given a budget to buy equipment for a forensics lab in the new Brouder Science Center, he chose items used by law enforcement.
"We've got a lab photo table, and if students go to work for the Highway Patrol crime lab in Kansas City, it's the same table," said Himmel, an adjunct professor of forensics at Columbia College. "They'll get to use it before they ever get a job."
City officials and college faculty and students gathered late Thursday morning for the center's dedication, ribbon-cutting and tours of the building at 705 Range Line St.
The center, which has been open since the fall semester began in August, is named for retired Columbia College President Emeritus Gerald Brouder and his wife, Bonnie. Gerald Brouder said that from the time he became president in 1995, he knew renovating the science department was a priority.
"Generating a list of priorities turned out to be easier than finding the funds to address them," Gerald Brouder said. "It was the beginning of a somewhat difficult but absolutely rewarding journey that has brought us here today."
A goal of the Tradition Meets Tomorrow Campaign, the science center now houses the physical and biological sciences, nursing and forensics departments.
"Columbia College is built on a reinforced foundation of the arts and sciences," Gerald Brouder said. "This building will serve as a beacon to those who will choose to experience a true and challenging curriculum."
Other features of the center:
Five classrooms, five general labs, eight advanced labs, 18 faculty offices and a lecture hall that seats 126 people.
A nursing simulation lab, which includes two lifelike robots, called SimMan, that help students learn procedures used in hospitals.
- A nursing classroom for the Columbia College Nursing Network, which allows an instructor at the main campus to instruct students at the Lake of the Ozarks campus and vice versa via video technology that simulates a Skype session. Students can ask questions and will clearly be heard, with little delay. The instructor can zoom in on a student for a better view to hear questions about demonstrations.
- Common areas for student lounging and idea sharing. Whiteboards and large bulletin boards are placed throughout the halls and common areas.
- Other rooms including a glass-washing room and a science-prep room.
The center has that new building smell and feel, and students are reveling in it.
Danielle Bandy, senior and Science Club president, said the old science facility might not have been ideal, but it was adequate. Now, they have more than they have ever asked for.
"I always loved what I was doing," she said. "Now, I love where I am doing it."
Forensics lab has space, technology
The new forensics lab includes instruction and equipment for crime scene investigations, crime scene photography, shooting reconstructions, bloodstain positioning, bullet trajectory and fingerprinting.
The former science building never really had a forensics lab; it was just a classroom in the basement, said Peter Bingham, a senior who studies forensic science.
"It's nice to essentially have our lab to do our own stuff where we don't have to worry about cleaning up in a hurry for other classes," Bingham said. "Because the room is locked and no one else can get into it, we have the ability to just leave stuff out and be able to go in and get started right away. We get a lot more hands-on experience, so hopefully it will make it easier to get a job."
Forensic science students now have the technology that enables them to do their work, especially in the forensics photography class.
"They have a lot more flashlights that are suited to be able to pick up chemical fingerprints, to be able to see blood under conditions you wouldn't normally be able to," he said.
The forensics department also has lasers for its shooting incident reconstruction class to determine the trajectory of the bullet.
Nursing lab mirrors real life
The nursing simulation lab is just as hands-on.
Associate professor of nursing Joyce Gentry explained how she can make the lab's SimMan, a lifelike robot that simulates a hospital patient, do things such as cough and have different heart rhythms so students can learn how to respond and decide the best way to treat the simulation patient.
"This is just a wonderful learning tool for students," Gentry said. "It gives them the opportunity to see what happens to patients without actually hurting a real patient."
For example, students will respond by giving the patient defibrillation if they think he needs it, Gentry said.
"It has really improved their critical thinking skills, their ability to think on their feet," she said.
'Eat, live, breathe science'
Professors also have found that interacting with students is easier with faculty offices and classrooms in the same building.
"The facility really allows me to be in contact with my students throughout the day," assistant professor of biology Kent Strodtman said. "My student researchers have access to me, I have access to them, and we both have access to the labs constantly. So I can be in my office, having office hours, and they just walk up the stairs if they need to ask a question."
It was a theme repeated by people at the dedication: Every science department at the college is housed in the new center, so science students now have everything they need in one building.
"They get to eat, live, breathe science," Strodtman said.
And before people enter the building, they will encounter a 12-foot stainless steel sculpture called "Genome." The artist's statement from sculptor Larry Young describes it this way:
"'Genome' combines the DNA spiral and the human form to symbolize man's mapping of the human genome, unlocking many secrets of life."
Supervising editor is Elizabeth Brixey.

Fire Fangio!!!
kbourda asked for it :~
again, i'm not seriously calling for his head so dont take the title seriously but lets critique the defensive play calling. for me that meant, where was the pass rush? our front 3 with deloach didnt get it done and that's not a good sign since they were starting 2 rookies on the offensivle line. babin got into the backfield a couple times but didnt get much pressure on brees. wong did once but was 1/2 a step from being rendered ineffective by the guard. i never saw a sharper blitz, and i didnt see them "bring the house". i saw both olb's on the line but our rush ended there. also, what is brown doing on a tightend continually after getting beat? yes you have to gameplan for LT but he isnt the only player on the field. if the rest of the team were 50 year old couch potatoes they wouldnt be on the field, and need to be respected. a linebacker needs to get on the tightend at the LOS and disrupt the route from the get-go. then let foreman get in his butt and keep things under control. i dont know how our zone works so i'll keep my fool mouth shut. we've just simply havent been aggressive enough IMO on both sides of the ball and in week one it let the opposing team play their game. |
We should fire him and hire a coach that wont call for Robinson to fall on his year, or to let the chargers complete a pass and run the ball and actually get past the LOS
To me , he has been calling horrible plays not blitzing the ILBs at all and on most plays only blitzing Babin on the outside, our d-line isnt going to get much pressure, that isnt their job, their job is tho take on doube teams to create blitzing lanes for the LBs, but since Fangio wont blitz enoug its hard to take advantage of our very good d-line play.
Alright guys, if the Texans fire Fangio? Who just be hired to replace him and why?
I think we should fire everybody. From the Owner all the way down to the equipment managers. Put them all out on the street. Losing a game to another NFL team. Outrageous!!! Let's start from scratch, and see where we'll be in a few years. I bet 3 years from now our 'New' Texans will win their 3rd Season Opener in a row. :rolleyes:

We have stayed at this park in the past, but it had been quite awhile since our previous visit and I was curious to see if it was still as nice as I remembered it being. For the most part, it was. This park is quite large with a lot of permanent residents but it is well kept and attractive. I especially like all the little decorative touches around the park like the flower beds and garden ornaments. Sites are gravel with grass in between them. The bathrooms and showers are very clean and spacious. WiFi was good some of the time but slowed to a crawl in the evening. Access from I-90 is very easy and being about a mile north of the freeway there is little traffic noise. However, there is some train noise ad the tracks run very close to the park and if a train is going down the grade the noise from its brakes is an extremely loud and ear piercing squeal. Fortunately the trains don't seem to run too frequently. During our one night stay we heard about half a dozen trains during the afternoon and evening but none during the night. We would stay here again. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: October, 2014 - $36.00
This was our second stay at Jim and Mary's and hopefully won't be our last. We really like this park. They do a great job keeping it clean and the restrooms/showers/laundry rooms are always spotless. Everyone that works there says 'hello' or waves as you walk around. The landscaping and flowers are out of the this world and make this place special. We usually leave our dogs in the RV if it's too warm to safely take them with us when we're sightseeing or running errands. We've asked those camping around us if the dogs were a problem while we were gone and have always gotten the same answer...."we thought you'd taken them with you" or "we didn't even know you had dogs in there" -- coast to coast, it's always been the same answer. It's something we've always been aware of it because we've camped around people who have noisy dogs that bark non-stop. Needless to say, it was a surprise when we got a call from the office staff here asking us to come and get our dogs. Apparently someone had complained to the office that they were barking. The work was done on our truck when the call came in and we were already headed back so it wasn't a problem for us to get there quickly. They were friendly about it too and didn't make us feel like problem guests. I'm not sure what set them off or what was going on as they really aren't 'yippers'. We also talked to a guy who works there who had been doing work much of the day right by our RV who hadn't heard a thing out of them -- so it's a mystery. The important thing was that we got back quickly to address the problem and the lady who called us was friendly and professional. Jim & Mary's remains one of our favorite RV parks. Walking around the park in the morning and evenings is always a pleasure here. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $36.00
Awesome clean place. They didn't have any room for us in their regular spots so we stayed in "over flow". Over flow had electric, water, sewer just no cable but we were able to get a few stations via air. The flowers even in September were absolutely awesome. I took my camera out and took several macro shots.....while doing so, I fell and twisted my ankle! Walked around the hole park about 6 times. Thoroughly enjoyed out 1 night stay here! We might be back at some point! We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $30.00
This is probably the nicest campground we stayed in to date. The grounds were park-like and the flowers were amazing. Staff was wonderfully friendly. Definitely stay here! We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $36.00
Nicely maintained park with easy access from I-90. Friendly and accommodating staff. Will definitely return. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $36.00
We've stayed at this RV park many times over the past 8 years and are amazed how consistently it fills up every night whether a weekend or weekday! It's a popular place. We appreciate how well cared for and nicely decorated it is. During our 3 night stay, we found the voltage and water pressure good. Verizon LTE and AT&T wireless signals were strong. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $39.00
This is a pretty park with a great staff. Plenty of space for bigger rigs but do need some care on the interior roads from the trees. Flowers and foliage everywhere makes this a true oasis. Convenient to the highway but set far enough away for quiet. We arrived late and all was ready for us for a late check in. Good WiFi. Will stay again. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $36.00
Beautiful park, was almost full on a Saturday night in mid September.
Very wide sites. Flower gardens throughout the park were a nice touch. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Motorhome.
Nice big rig fuel stop at this same exit
Date of Stay: September, 2014 - $33.00
Beautiful RV Park with very friendly staff. Very level site and good space between sites. Great pet friendly area. Great place to stay. Our space was close to a road behind the park so we had a little vehicle noise and noise from the train tracks up on the hill, but not bad. Our GPS sent us the wrong way off the highway - the park is on 93 North and signs well mark it's location. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $35.00
Very nice and clean campground. The owners and employees are wonderful. They had a local entertainer one night - not appealing to my teenagers - and ice cream. The flowers and landscaping are beautiful. Nice laundry. It is a bit noisy with road noise and a train. We found it not as social as some other campgrounds and a bit boring for my kids. They were the only kids there for 3 days. Love the Ben and Jerry's ice cream available in the main office. If you want quiet without kids, stay here. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $36.00
Lovely well maintained park with attention to all the flowers. Paved roads, but gravel sites nicely spaced. Some road noise but nothing offensive. Exceptionally clean laundry with 4 washers and 4 dryers. Grassy sites with nice picnic tables. Tall trees. Friendly staff. Only stayed here 2 nights but would have stayed longer if time permitted. Just passing through en route elsewhere. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $31.00
This rate is a weekly Good Sam price. Very nice park with pleasant staff. The sites are FHU, spacious enough & many have beautiful flowers. Paved roads with gravel sites. Most sites were long enough to accommodate any size rig towing. Some sites would not be able to receive satellite service if it was roof mounted due to all the trees. the park is very well maintained & beautiful flowers are all over. We were here for 3 nights & could have stayed longer. There is lots to do in Missoula. There is some train noise but no worse than any other park that is near railroad tracks. This was actually quieter than some we have stayed at. WIFI was good except during peak times (late afternoon/evening) when the park was full but we never had a problem accessing the internet when we needed it. We enjoyed this enough to return! We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $36.00
When you drive up and see flowers growing everywhere, what's not to like? This is a beautiful park located a short distance from Missoula. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our site was a pull-through (as are most) with gravel. It was not level but there is grass and a picnic table at each site. Once in awhile we would hear a train go by, as tracks are not far from the park, but it was not annoying. Laundry is spic and span. We would definitely stay here again when in this area. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $36.00
50/30/20 amp, sewer good, water 60@ psi. Didn't use Wi-Fi. AT&T cell phone good, Verizon 4G LTE Air Card is good, cable TV is good. Sites are nice not all level but workable. Plenty of room around RV and between sites. Asphalt interior road. Restrooms and laundry are very good. This is a beautiful park. Lots of flowers and they are tended often. Waters lawn about 11 PM every night. GS discount. Satellite access is good in most places. Payment by CC is acceptable. This is a great park and when in this area I will stay here every time. Only Con is that a few sites do not have sewer and there is no dump here. I just pulled into an open site that had sewer and dumped as I was leaving. They do tell you about the dump on the hill at the truck stop. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $36.00
Overnighted following maintenance at the nearby Cummins shop. They only had one 50-amp pull-through available and it did not have sewer, but this was not a problem. The other utilities were good quality. The park is beautiful with easy access and all sites appeared roomy. The only issue of any consequence was our site was not level, so I had to lay down a few jack pads. This did not appear to be an issue for most sites. Overall, good experience and would stay again without question. We camped at Jim & Mary's RV Park in a Motorhome.

Make Your Own Laptop Sleeve Out of Any Fabric
Ars Technica posted a guide showing how to make a laptop sleeve out of any fabric you happen to have lying around. It probably won't protect your laptop from falls, but it'll provide some style and probably reduce scratches.

USTA Serves Awards Over $1 Million in Grants in 2008
*WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., February 3, 2009 - *USTA Serves - Foundation for Academics. Character. Excellence., the philanthropic and charitable entity of the USTA, announced today that under its "Aces for Kids" umbrella, it has awarded 39 grants, 17 in conjunction with the USTA Public Affairs Committee, for a total of $574,700. The funding source for the 17 grants was the United States Department of Justice. The number of program grants awarded in 2008 was 58, for a total amount of $886,960. Combined with scholarship awards, the Foundation distributed almost $1.2 million in 2008.
USTA Serves awards "Aces for Kids" grants to programs that successfully combine tennis and education and help children pursue their goals and highest dreams by succeeding in school and becoming responsible citizens. The nonprofit organizations selected for funding offer a curriculum designed to address school truancy, poor academic performance, gang activity, underage drinking and drug abuse.
"Aces for Kids" is a national initiative of USTA Serves. It strives to promote healthy lifestyles by combating childhood/adult obesity by providing underserved, at-risk children the opportunity to learn to play tennis and improve their academic skills in a structured format. At "Aces for Kids" program sites, children between the ages of 5-18 learn about healthy nutrition and lifestyles, responsible citizenship, study skills, and computer literacy, and interact with a mentor and other students; attend college preparatory sessions, and, learn to play tennis in a team format.
"It is extremely rewarding to see how programs across the country are using USTA Serves funding to help children improve academically and learn positive life skills which will help them grow to be healthy, productive adults," said Karen Martin-Eliezer, Chief Executive, USTA Serves. "We are grateful to the USTA, and so many corporations and individual donors for the generous support that empowers USTA Serves to allocate life-changing funds."

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury
A posterior cruciate ligament injury is a partial or complete tearing or stretching of any part of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which is located inside the knee joint.
Alternative Names
Cruciate ligament injury - posterior; PCL injury; Knee injury - posterior cruciate ligament (PCL); Hyperextended knee
Your doctor will perform a physical examination to check for signs of PCL injury. This includes moving the knee joint in various ways.
Your doctor may also check if there is fluid in the knee joint. This test may show bleeding into the joint.
These tests may be ordered:
- Knee MRI
- Knee joint x-ray
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the strongest ligament in the knee. It extends from the top-rear surface of the tibia (bone between the knee and ankle) to the bottom-front surface of the femur (bone that extends from the pelvis to the knee).
The ligament prevents the knee joint from posterior instability. This means it prevents the tibia from moving too much and going behind the femur.
The PCL is usually injured by overextending the knee (hyperextension). This can happen if you land awkwardly after jumping. The PCL can also become injured from a direct blow to the flexed knee, such as smashing your knee in a car accident (called "dashboard injury") or falling hard on a bent knee.
Most PCL injuries occur with other ligament injuries and severe knee trauma. Often the knee is dislocated and the nerves and blood vessels are injured. If you suspect PCL injury, it is important to be seen by a doctor right away.
- Knee swelling and tenderness in the space behind the knee (popliteal fossa)
- Knee joint instability
- Knee joint pain
First Aid
At first, a PCL injury is treated by:
- Checking the pulse and circulation in the area
- Splinting
- Applying ice to the area
- Elevating the joint (above the level of the heart)
- Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain
Limit physical activity until the swelling is down, motion is normal, and the pain is gone. Physical therapy can help you regain joint and leg strength. If the injury happens suddenly (acute) or you have a high activity level, you may need surgery. This may be either knee arthroscopy or open surgical reconstruction.
Age has an effect on treatment. Younger patients are more likely to have problems without surgery, because chronic instability may lead to arthritis symptoms many years later. Many people do well without surgery. Injuries in which the bone is pulled off with the ligament, or multiple ligaments are injured need to be repaired with surgery.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You have symptoms of PCL injury
- You are being treated for PCL injury and instability in your knee worsens
- Pain or swelling return after they went away
- Your injury does not appear to be getting better with time
- You re-injure your knee
- You have loss of sensation and decreased circulation in your foot
PCL injuries often occur with other ligament injuries or severe knee trauma. You should be checked early for these other conditions.
Use proper techniques when playing sports or exercising. Many cases are accidents and are not preventable.
